I saw your post in siemens forum, and follow the steps you provided but it is not working. I suspected I might misunderstand some important point, would apprecited if you can get back to me with the following inquiries. 1) I saw some users able to send email as well, but the different thing is the setting in ADDR_MAIL_SERVER. You usedSteinservices.comin your program, the question is:Which mail server supported by s7-1200?I tried on mail.yahoo.com,gmail.com,hotmail.comandgmx.com(which is so called "tested" mail server by siemens, but it is not working either), all of them are not working. I understand that different country uses different mail server, but I really dont know what else can I use now. 2) About the port 25, did I do it correctly? Please find the attachment "port forwarding.jpg" 3) The AuthStartTime is not running at all while I enable the TM MAIL, therefore, after 60s (watch dog timer) it shows error 8014. Daten, buffer1 and buffer2 got nothing appear. I also tried to 180s in watch dog timer, I got the same result as well. Please find the attachment "authstarttimer.jpg" Thank you Regards, Lian Attachment Downloads.zip (290 Downloads)

Dave Sonsalla Posts: 3 Rating: (9)	I'm wondering what the port forwarding is about? Usually, routers have port 25 opened up for email service. You show that you are forwarding to a private IP. Are you forwarding to a machine that you have internally set up as an email server? For your testing purposes, I've once again opened up the email definition siemens@steinservices.com, with the same password "siemens123. This will expire in 14 days, which should be plenty of time to troubleshoot with. Follow my instructions explicitly in the PDF that I've posted, and use the steinservices.com email definition. Thus, your setup should be exactly as I outlined.. Once you have it working there, we'll troubleshoot your personal setup. I would suggest that you delete your port forwarding definition in order to make sure that you are not forwarding requests for the mail server at SteinServices.com to your internal machine Also, watch your ID number in your TM_Mail block. If you are using other services such as Modbus over Ethernet, they cannot share the same ID number. You will lock up any ethernet related blocks if they fire at the same time. You can also shorten up your AuthStartTime. If SteinServices.com doesn't answer in a couple of seconds, you most certainly have other problems. Regards, Dave

wjlian Posts: 12 Rating: (1)	Hi Dave, I tested with your username and password. The error code is 8014, which is incorrect mail server IP address (ADDR_MAIL_SERVER) or a time span that is too short (WATCH_DOG_TIME) to establish the connection. But in fact, the AuthStartTime remain 0sec, so I guess it is not working at all. Please refer to "testing 2a.jpg" and "testing 2b.jpg" Also, hope you can get back to me with the following questions. 1) Please note that the tm_mail_db (db149) is not in the same folder with tm_mail (FB349), I dont know whether it is important to put under the same place. However, I had tried to put both under Program Source, but the email doesnt working as well. Please refer to "testing 2c.jpg" 2) I had removed the private ip with port 25 and I got the same result, not working. The reason I setup a private ip with port 25 is because I thought it needed/must open the port in order to use the port. It isn't an internal email server, I only did it like how I setup my port 80 for hosting. Sorry for making you confuse. Thank you Regards, Lian Attachment Downloads.zip (262 Downloads)

Dave Sonsalla Posts: 3 Rating: (9)	Hi Wjlian, Let me stuff an Email program into a PLC to verify it once again. And yes, you're right. I moved SteinServices.com to a different IP address since doing this program. The IP address changed so I'll test with the new address and I'll make sure nothing else is wrong as well. If it works, then I'll give instructions as to how to Telnet into the server. That will check all connections manually on your side. Give me a bit of time . . . Dave

wjlian Posts: 12 Rating: (1)	Hi Dave， Sure, I will also keep testing as well and hopefully can solve the problem. Hope to have a solution as soon as possible. In fact, I hope Siemens can give more details on mail server and upgrade the port 25 (fixed port) into selectable port because I found it is possible that the mail server port will change and the user might need to keep track on the latest port to make sure the email function is working. Regards, Lian
